Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/720,983, filed Sep. 27, 2005.
- The instant invention relates to polymers comprising polyester polymer units useful in thermosetting powder coating compositions.
- Thermosetting powder coating compositions are well known in the art and are widely used as coatings for office furniture, electric appliances, bicycles, garden furniture, accessories for the automotive industry, general metal parts and the like. The general approach associated with powder coating technology is to formulate a coating from solid components, mix them, disperse pigments (and other insoluble components) in a matrix of the major binder components, and pulverize the formulation into a powder. The powder is applied to the substrate, usually but not limited to a metal, and fused to a continuous film by baking.
- Polymers comprising polyester polymer units are useful in thermosetting powder coating compositions. Such polymers comprise a polyester polymer unit containing the formula —(I-III-I)—, or alternatively, —(III-I-III)—, wherein III is derived from a dicarboxylic acid such as terephthalic acid, and wherein I is derived from a diol and/or a polyol such as neopentyl glycol. When 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol is used as a diol component, the resulting thermosetting powder coating compositions comprising such polymers can suffer from drawbacks related to excessive melt viscosity and processability. Excessive melt viscosity of the polymer of a thermosetting powder coating composition requires an excessive bake oven temperature to fuse the polymer thereby degrading the polymer. As a result, the advantages of using 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol in a powder coating composition can not be fully realized. The processability of the polyester during its formation is hindered by a successively increasing melt transition temperature as molecular weight builds. This is attributed to the highly crystalline nature of 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol content. This phenomenon causes difficulties in maintaining a homogeneous polymerization, as plate-out can occur at the edges and interface of the mixture.
- The gist of the instant invention is the discovery that polyester polymers derived from a diol composition consisting of a mixture of 1,3-cyclohexanedimethanol and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol have low melt viscosities and are easily processable at acceptable glass transition temperatures, for the preparation of powder coatings with a surprising balance of chemical resistance, hardness and flexibility together with excellent appearance.
- More specifically, the instant invention is a polymer, characterized by: a polyester polymer unit containing the formula —(I-III-II)—, wherein III is derived from a dicarboxylic acid, wherein I is derived from 1,3-cyclohexanedimethanol, wherein II is derived from 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol and wherein the polymer is a solid at room temperature. In one embodiment, the invention includes a polymer comprising a polyester polymer unit derived from the reaction of a multifunctional carboxylic acid with 1,3 cyclohexanedimethanol and 1,4 cyclohexanedimethanol, wherein the polymer is a solid at room temperature.
- Polymers are macromolecules formed by the union of one or more monomers. The resulting macromolecule can comprise a linear, branched or crosslinked backbone. Polymers comprising a polyester unit usually are prepared from the condensation of monomers comprising a diacid and/or a polyacid and a diol and/or a polyol (the terms diacid, polyacid, diol and polyol are well understood in the art and are defined in U.S. Pat. No. 6,255,523, herein fully incorporated by reference). The instant invention is a polymer comprising a polyester polymer unit having the formula —(I-III-II)—, wherein III is derived from a dicarboxylic acid, wherein I is derived from 1,3-cyclohexanedimethanol and wherein II is derived from 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol. More specifically, the diol of this invention is preferably an isomeric mixture of 1,3-cyclohexanedimethanol and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, which mixture can be made according to the teachings of U.S. Pat. No. 6,252,121 and which mixture is available commercially from The Dow Chemical Company under the trade name UNOXOL Diol. Advantageously, the diol mixture will contain from about 5 to about 95 weight percent of 1,3-cyclohexanedimethanol and from about 95 to about 5 weight percent of 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, preferably from about 20 to 80 weight percent 1,3-cyclohexanedimethanol and from about 80 to about 20 weight percent 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol , and more preferably the diol mixture will consist of 45 to 60 weight percent 1,3-cyclohexanedimethanol and 40 to 55 weight percent 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol. The polymer of the instant invention must be a solid at room temperature. More preferably, the glass transition temperature of the polymer of the instant invention is greater than 30° C. Even more preferably, the glass transition temperature of the polymer of the instant invention is greater than 40° C. A highly preferred diacid is terephthalic acid. Examples of other diacids that can be used include, without limitation: phthalic acid, isophthalic acid, adipic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid, trimellitic acid, fumaric acid, naphthalene dicarboxylic acid, 5-tert-butyl isophthalic acid (5-TBIA), 1,1,3-trimethyl-3-phenylindan-4′,5′-dicarboxylic acid (PIDA) and trimesic acid. It should be understood that the term “derived from a dicarboxylic acid” is defined herein as including being derived from an anhydride of a dicarboxylic acid. Terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid and many other diacids are available commercially.
- The polymer of the instant invention can also contain groups other than —(I-III-II)— (such as —(I-III-I)— or —(II-III-II)—). Typically, such groups will be polyester groups derived from a diacid (or a polyacid) and a diol (or polyol) other than 1,3-cyclohexanedimethanol and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol. Examples include, without limitation thereto, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, neopentyl glycol, 1,4-butylene glycol, 1,5-pentanediol, methyl propanediol, cyclohexane dimethanol, hydrogenated bisphenol A, ethylene oxide adducts of bisphenol A, propylene oxide adducts of bisphenol A, ethylene oxide adducts of bisphenol F, propylene oxide adducts of bisphenol F, ethylene oxide adducts of bisphenol S, ethylene oxide adducts of bisphenol S, 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, and tris(hydroxyethyl)isocyanurate as well as multifunctional glycols such as erythritol, pentaerythritol, dipentaerythritol, glycerol, trimethylolethane, trimethololpropane, dulcitol, threitol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol and trimethylpentanediol. It should be understood that the polymer of the instant invention can be terminated with an alcohol such as 2-ethylhexanol or benzyl alcohol or with an acid such as benzoic acid. The polymer of the instant invention will typically otherwise terminate with polyester units derived from polyacids or polyols to provide a means for cross-linking the polymer of the thermosetting powder coating composition during the bake cycle of the powder coating process.
- The weight average molecular weight of the polymer of the instant invention preferably is in the range from 300 to 10,000 grams per mole as determined by gel permeation chromatography. The weight percent of the —(I-III-II)— groups is preferably more than one percent of the weight of the polymer as determined by NMR spectroscopy. The weight percent of the —(I-III-II)— groups is more preferably more than ten percent of the weight of the polymer as determined by NMR spectroscopy.

- A commercially available polyester polyol for powder coating (Uralac 6504 brand powder coating resin, DSM, Augusta, Ga.) is designated polymer 6.
- The process of Example 1 is repeated, except as noted. The polyester polyols of this Example are based on trimethylolpropane (TMP), isophthalic acid (IPA) and UNOXOL Diol as detailed in the following table.
-
Reactants Grams UNOXOL Diol 854.0 Trimethylolpropane 24.1 Isophthalic acid 909.2 catalyst - monobutyltin oxide 2.0 catalyst - triphenylphosphite 0.8 isophthalic acid - 2nd stage addition 168.0 - The temperature profile used is:
- 25° C.-180° C. over 1.5 hours
180° C.-235° C. over 4 hours
235° C. hold for final acid value - The resin is cooked to a first stage acid number of 5-10 (mg KOH/g sample); then reduced to 180° C. and charged with second stage addition of IPA before ramping up to a final temperature of 230-240° C. and held for a final acid value of 34-40 mg KOH/g. The resulting polymer is designated polymer 7. The cone and plate melt viscosity of polymer 7 is 235 Pa·s at 150° C. as determined by ASTM test D4287.
- The cone and plate melt viscosities of the polymers of Example 1 and 2 are surprisingly much lower than the cone and plate melt viscosities of the polymers of comparative examples 1, 2 and 3. The low melt viscosities of the polymers of Example 1 and 2 allows them to be more easily processed into powder coating formulations.
- 400 grams of each of polymers 1, 2, 4 and 5 are mixed with 100 grams of Vestagon B 1530 brand crosslinking agent (Degussa Corporation, Parsippany, N.J.), 4 grams of Fascat 4100 brand catalyst (Arkema Corporation, Philadelphia Pa.), 200 grams of TiPure 706 brand titanium dioxide pigment (E.I. DuPont de Numours, Wilmington, Del.), 6 grams of Modaflow Powder III brand powder flow improver (Surface Specialties SA/NV, Drogenbas, Belgium), 2 grams of benzoin as a pin hole reducer; then melted and extruded; and then ground to an average particle size of 43 micrometers to produce powder coating formulations 1, 2, 4 and 5 respectively. Polymer 3 can not be processed due to its excessively high melt viscosity. 400 grams of polymer 6 is mixed with 100 grams of Vestagon B 1400 brand crosslinking agent, 4 grams of Fascat 4100, 200 grams of TiPure 706, 6 grams of Modaflow Powder III, 2 grams of benzoin; then melt mixed in a twin screw extruder, cooled in a two roll chiller, flaked and then ground to an average particle size of 43 micrometers to produce powder coating formulation 6.
- Powder coating formulation 7 is prepared as follows. 94.6 grams of polymer 7, 5.37 grams of hydroxyl alkyl amide (Primid XL 552), 50 grams of titanium dioxide, 2 grams of flow control agent and 0.75 grams of benzoin are formulated into a powder coating formulation. A PRIZM 40 mixer stirring at 2300 rpm is utilized for pre-mixing the formulation ingredients into a homogeneous dry blend. Mixing time is slightly less than one minute. The resulting blend is fed into a PRIZM 24 mm twin-screw extruder, rotating at 400 rpm. The temperature zones are set to 35° C. at the feed; the middle zone at 70° C.; and the head temperature at 90° C. Extruded material is collected on a flat rolled sheet, and is ground using a 9500 rpm rotator speed and 3500 rpm separator speed. The feed zone is set at 10 rpm. The entire process yields an average particle size of 43 micrometer diameter.
- Powder coating formulations 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are used to coat steel test samples with coatings 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 respectively with test results shown in the following table.
